Who is this Ed Shultz guy?

[grantcart]

And what have they done to the guy that has the afternoon show?


This guy is always way over the top.


First he disparages the bill for weeks and castigates Obama, Pelosi and Reid.


Now its THE GREATEST BILL OF ALL TIME and Obama, Pelosi and Reid should go on to Mt Rushmore.


Glad that he is on the passage side but don't really trust people who can't modulate their over the top rants.

[firedupdem]

1. I hear ya on that. I stopped watching him even before I went back

to work. His loud mouth ripping Dems to shreds everyday was too much for me.

[FrenchieCat]

2. He came around gradually, once he realized that

his rants weren't helping anything.

Maybe those letters that I was sending him
helped? :shrug:

Hey, I'll take whatever credit I can take.
Why not? I was the one that I was waiting for
once again! :)

[firedupdem]

4. You rock Frenchie!

:hug:

[Cha]

8. +1

[panader0]

18. For Frenchie............

[Dappleganger]

16. If Frenchie sends you a letter, you better watch out!

I hope to never get on your letter-writing shit list.

:rofl:

[butterfly77]

22. Mine too..

letters that is..

[eleny]

3. If you don't shoot for the moon, you'll get crap

Can you imagine where we'd be if people didn't push?

[Uzybone]

5. so it is with cable talking heads

ratings first

[NYC_SKP]

6. Thankfully, CPAN is carrying this live, George Miller at this moment.

Far too often I have no choice but to listen to Ed's interpretation of events.

Not this time.

I wonder where cliffordu is and if he stopped somewhere to catch up...

OTOH, a break from all this is probably healthy!

:P

[Doremus]

7. He's one of the few liberals we have in the MSM

He is consistently on the side of workers, and consistently progressive.

He'll get no criticisms from me.

[cilla4progress]

10. I discovered him recently,

and I like him, too!

[inna]

12. Are you JOKING???

He used to be a life-long Republican. Get a grip.

[demosincebirth]

15. Definitely pro-worker

[gateley]

9. He saw the light a while ago -- I think after talking to the likes of

Dean. I'm hoping he'll be a fighter for the Grayson proposal -- he is (Ed) a single payer advocate.

[live love laugh]

11. Have you listened to his protegee Nor-man Gold-man?

He used to be reasonable but since he replaced Ron Reagan's talk show time slot he's all anti-Obama all the time. Dems and Obama can do no right and he makes sure that he opens his show sayin that daily. Repubs love him. Me? I'm just about done with "progrssive" radio with the likes of Schultz and Goldman at the helm.

[Clio the Leo]

13. For the third time tonight....

.... I REALLY miss Tweety, Keith and Rachel.

[Uzybone]

14. where the heck are they?

[Clio the Leo]

17. Well Keith obviously has other issues he has to deal with...

... and Tweety's son got married this weekend.

Not sure about Rachel, but HCR hadn't been her area of expertise, so who knows.

But I am secretly, selfishly wishing that KO will come swooping in at the 10pm hour to surprise us.

[dem mba]

19. if I ran MSNBC I would hire Cenk Ugyar

and give him a show at Ed's slot. Ed's way too abrasive for me. I'm pretty sure his ratings aren't so hot either. Cenk is pretty rational and even-keeled (usually) and knows his stuff second only to Maddow.

I'm sure it's just a matter of time before he gets his own program.

[rucky]

20. Maybe he started watching Maddow's show?

:shrug:

[Change Happens]

21. Basically he went where Kucinich went......nt

[Jennicut]

23. I have always liked Ed. He came around eventually. At the very least, he is an actual liberal on tv.

[Politicub]

24. He's been supporting the bill for weeks. You must not listen to his radio show. n/t

[eridani]

25. Right. We're supposed to think that shit sandwiches are yummy because of who endorses them n/t
